CPB seeks to make public broadcasting more accessible to the public it serves. To do so CPB maintains a toll-free, 24-hour telephone line (1-800-272-2190), an online contact form, and accepts letters sent directly to CPB.

All comments are available on this website to be viewed by the general public. Each year, by statute, CPB transmits this public link to the White House for its report to Congress. Additionally, comments pertaining to programming are shared with the CPB Board of Directors and relevant public media staff.

CONCERN: News about the science, politics, and legal proceedings related to wireless radiation safety are not being shared

Illinois
Feedback:

Submitted 10/16/22: I've been watching the science on electromagnetic fields, specifically power frequencies and wireless transmission frequencies, for 22 years. Despite the fact that there were already concerns expressed by the EPA iby 1980 regarding the carcinogenicity of RF and the adequacy of the FCC exposure limits (before EPA studies were defunded), and already by the 1970s the Navy had compiled over a thousand studies showing biological effects at low intensity levels, and already a great majority of the modern studies are showing biological effects of EMF at levels that are not supposed to be biologically active according to the now out-dated thermal paradigm (which itself was based on animal behavior studies and "hunches" back in the last century), and despite the fact that the NIEHS/National Toxicology Program found "clear evidence of carcinogenicity" at non-thermal levels of RF, backed up by the Ramazzini Institute's similar studies at even lower intensity levels---PBS and NPR seem to be uninterested in investigating and sharing findings -- not industry PR -- with the public. No major insurers or reinsurers will cover liability for the wireless industry should the emissions from their wireless devices and infrastructure cause health harm to users--why? because they have looked at the evidence and they don't want to lose their shirts on another tobacco debacle. Last year a federal judge in Environmental Health Trust v. FCC ruled that current exposure limits are not based on a full review of the current science----that in fact, no federal agency has conducted such a full review, although they all give semi-reassurances of safety on their public information websites. The wireless industry---which funds much of public broadcasting--tells the FCC what to do, and they help place their own people as director and commissioners. They get laws passed in Congress that take away the rights of citizens and municipalities to have any say in where telecom infrastructure goes, what is used and how. They get waivers from FCC to test body SAR on cell phones a slight distance away from the test "body," (a gel filled receptacle) which then registers a much lower SAR than would be experienced by someone carrying a cell phone in their pocket. Brain cancer lawsuits filed in 2001 are only coming to a hearing now in 2022 because of convenient delays perpetrated by the industry. There is so much wrong in the telecom realm, but public broadcasting is not covering any of it---and you have an investigative team for Frontline that could provide the perfect venue with experienced investigative reporters, but year after year, Nothing. As the lawyers say, there is no smoking gun to seek out----all the information is readily available and out there, you just have to put the dots together, and know which "experts," committees and commissions are actually associated with the industry, and not independent of its influence.

This situation has made me very cynical about the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, PBS, NPR, etc. You have every man, woman, and child --all your constituents--exposed to this in nearly every environment they sleep, live, work, grow, and study in. All ages, including pre-birth. They trust that if Public Broadcasting doesn't say there's a problem, then everything's all right. Well, it isn't all right, for people, or for flora and fauna, but you have to be willing to put the present and future well-being of your constituency first, and hold a shady industry accountable for its continued obfuscation of the facts.

I speak from my own experience on committees with the telecoms, and years of communications with scientists. There is a problem. Go there!

Corporation for Propaganda Broadcasting is more accurate

California
Feedback:

You should call yourselves the Corporation for Propaganda Broadcasting. Could your programming get any more unscrientic misleading and leftist?

You are a national disgrace. De-fund the police? De-fund fake organizations like you. Wouldn't be surprised if the whole board of directors is taking payola directly from the CPP on top of the federal government to spread state sponsored narratives and propaganda. You are traitors to the United States of America and the US Constitution.

I wish more Fox, Newsmax, and other media outlets’ viewers would watch truthful and useful news as presented by your well-balanced and professional staff.

Excluding a Recognized Candidate in a PBS Forum

Illinois
Feedback:

Hello.

It is unfortunate that I am forced to write this correspondence today because I usually tell anyone who would listen to me that, PBS literally changed my life as a child.

However, being that I am legally on the ballot and also a publicly touted candidate for the Illinois Secretary of State, and was excluded from the WTTW Chicago candidate forum last week, has changed my life and not in the way it did when I was younger.

WTTW Chicago television station is partially funded by government monies and also from public funds, from honorable people like myself. Your Producers, picking and choosing which candidates will appear on a forum and which ones won't is not in the spirit of being a "open, transparent company" that is supposed to serve the public interest. Clearly, last nights candidate forum you served no one except the two party system.

I have contacted my attorney and we are now in the process pf exploring any legal options we have in response to your stations purposeful oversight.

I hope you and WTTW responds to this email in a way that satisfies my party, the public at large and convinces me to drop legal action.

Respectfully submitted,

Jon Stewart Libertarian Candidate for the Illinois Secretary of State

Pinkalicious "The New Girl"

Alabama
Feedback:
My daughter is four years old and loves to watch Pinkalicious. This morning she was watching "The New Girl" episode. A new family moves to town and its two men and a little girl. The man introduces his "husband" to Pinkalicious' family. I am so upset that this lifestyle was introduced to my preschooler with no parental warning or rating etc. I would not have let her watch the episode if I had of known that material was in there. It is not the job of APT or PBS to decide when my child gets introduced to homosexuality. And frankly in my opinion it should not be in preschoolers programming. They are very impressionable at this age and a certain agenda or lifestyle should not be made to seem okay thru a familiar children's program they love to watch. Something should be done about this! I see your organization helps fund the programming. Could there at least if nothing else parental warnings be put in place so parents wont be caught off guard that dont want their children watching episodes containing this subject matter? Thank you
